[005] Most commercially available tracks rely of the stiffness of the rails to provide strength and stability to the assembly, while controlling free play. Sfiffer rails result in stronger, more stable track assemblies with less free play. However, stiff er rails result in negative impacts to slide effort and make the assembly process more sensitive to dimensional variation.. Therefore, many designs must carefully select the rail stiffness so as not to be too stiff tor one requirement., or not stiff enough for another requirement,
[006]' This tradeoff is no longer feasible when selected material of Sower densit and lower Young modulus are used for the rails, such as aluminum or fiber reinforced plastic.
£007]. The invention effectively decouples free play and slide effort 'from stability and strength whi e resulting i improved insensitiviiy to .component and subassembly dimensional variation through the use of a flexible member.

5 , In each case in the upper and lower region. According to the invention, the outer rail SO has a. structural element 53 which interacts with a structural element, which is arranged preferably integrally on the inner rail, and as a result absorbs vertical and/or lateral forces. The- structural element 53 has a high rigidity and does not deform during the assembly of the Inner- and outer rail. Preferably, the structural element 53 provides a contact surface for the rolling bodies Furthermore, according to the invention, the outer rail has an elastic region 54 Which interacts with the roiling bodies
52, In particular the roiling bodies arranged in the upper region of the rail according to the Invention, and biases them against the inner rail S . Preferably, the elastic element deforms e!asfiealSy during the assembly of the inner- and the outer rail.: in the embodiment according to Figure 2, the elastic regions 54 are provided in each case integrally with the outer rail 50, It can be seen that the structural element S3 can be provided in different regions of the outer rail. Preferably the elastic region 54 comprises an area 68 with reduces material material thickness and or an arm .like region 68, which deforms at eomparatevily little forces.

The roiling/sliding body cage {.spring cage) made out of flexible materia! (for example spring steel) installed on the inner rail, one end h fixed and another is free to deflect. Having one end ee allows to generate relatively low normal forces, which means low slide effort After rails are assembled, the the other end should be fixed, which provide required rigidity for whole system and at the same time low sliding effort. Preferably, the cage comprises at least one region 67 with a reduced friction.
Preferably* the inner rail comprises indeiations 64. The cage is preferably fixed to the resulting convexities 85, Preferably, the cage §5 is designed to absorb forces in two directions, which are perpendicular to each other.

Each has one end free and another fixed to inner rail. The fixed end of one of the, spring cage is,. In the present case, located at the f ront of th rail and another sprin cage has a fixed end e the rear of the rail The free ends of the both spring cages are located toward the middle of the rail. Also, the rail has a locking element 56, which can lock/fix (prevent movement) of the free ends of both spring cages. This locking element is preferably synchronised. with the mai latching device (which handles the -structural load and prevents the inner rail from moving relative to outer rail). Which means, when the longitudinal adjuster requires an adjustment, the main latch is released and preferably, each spring cage locking element is released as well, which means ends of the spring cages are again free and as function of It, the sliding effort is low, -which- allows to adjust the track with low sliding' effort. As soon, as required adjustment completed, then the main latch and preferably the spring cage locking element return to locking mode, which provide required system rigidity and prevent relative movement between -Inner a d outer rails.
